What are you beliefs on female ordination? And why? Catholic Church should progress to including women in the clergy. I do support female ordination in the Catholic Church for these 3 reasons.One, females are just as competent and able to perform the duties of the clergy as males are. Also females make up 50% of a population so it makes sense that females also take part in this profession. Finally, we 're happy to have Female doctors, lawyers, dentists, astronauts, so there is no reason why we…

Marriage is the “The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life (CCC 1601).” Because marriage is a sacrament, not everyone can do it at any time in their life. The couple getting married must meet certain requirements. Some of those are both partners have to be baptized Christians, not closely related, partners of the opposite sex, free of any other marriage, and in good terms with the…

The role of the Catholic Church is to go to the sociological and geographical peripheries of the world to join Jesus and people like Saint Teresa and Pope Francis. We are to make sure that everyone in the world hears God's Word, and that they know that they are not alone. Sociological peripheries are peripheries in human society. This type of periphery tells us to help the poor and homeless in America and other urban countries. Saint Teresa is a perfect example of serving in…

Throughout the centuries, the Catholic Church was the subject to criticism for their flaw in their structure and system, and disappointments for their actions to common people. More and more people of Europe were beginning to lose their faith in the church 's leadership, and also believed that the Church was overly obsessed with money. One man by the name of Martin Luther ignited a group of people who believed that the Church had fallen away from the teachings of Jesus and their meanings. These…

media presents about the Catholic church . Many take this at face value, and I cannot blame them. There has been a lot of corruption associated with the church, and it may be hard for some to see that these are the actions of a few rather than the philosophy of the whole. Though the reputation of the institution may be tainted, the actual building where I attend mass, does not reflect that negativity. As a Catholic who received a parochial education for 10 years, I see my church in a completely…

In the 1500 the Roman Catholic Church was super powerful in western Europe.

The catholic church's power had been built up over many centuries and relied on ignorance and superstition on people from other lands…

in the Catholic Church Introduction: In this ethnographic paper, I elected to write on Symbolism, Rituals and Traditions in the Catholic Church. Our textbook states, “There is no general agreement among scholars as to why people need religion, or how spirits, gods, and other supernatural beings and forces come into existence.” Scholars cannot determine why people practice religions; I thought it would be interesting to explore the many customs and practices within the Catholic Church and…
